The Uncrowned Prince In Israel Jonathan Son Of Saul King Of Israel Primary Source Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from Jonathan: A Tragedy Saul, the first King of Israel, and David, the great king, so overshadowed Jonathan, who was but a prince, that he interested the Biblical narrator mainly as a factor in the feud between the great rivals. That the situation in which he was placed was tragic, and that he displayed elevation of character, is clear; but there is lacking the wealth of detail with which his career and personality would have been developed had he been of greater political importance. For this reason I have felt that the story, as it is told in the first book of Samuel, could be elaborated with advan tage. The setting which I have wrought for it is adorned with gems of thought and expression taken from the Bible freely and at random. These and other conscious borrowings are acknowledged in the notes.
